HOW TO TAKE A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT If you ever get sick during your stay, here are a few numbers you can call to have a check-up:
Dr P. Felsenheld / 115 rue du Président Roosevelt, SGEL / Tél : 01 39 73 32 00 Dr J-P. Fitoussi / 155 rue du Président Roosevelt, SGEL / Tél: 01 39 73 33 01
Dr P. Gaspard / 1 rue Bûcherons, SGEL / Tél: 01 39 21 97 17 Dr P. Barthez / 11 rue grande fontaine, SGEL / Tél: 01 30 61 03 44
There’s also an hospital: 20, rue Armagis, SGEL / 0139274050 Those are just a few examples, if you need to see doctor don’t hesitate to ask students for advice!
You can also use these websites: www.doctolib.fr or www.allo-medecins.fr To get an appointment, call the office and get a rendez-vous: when you get to the office, don’t be surprised, doc-tors often practice in buildings so you might have to ring at the intercom. Inside the office, it is not mandatory to
have diplomas hanging on the wall, it does not mean that the doctor doesn’t have any diplomas though. Also, french doctors are often late, it’s normal !
RECOMMENDATIONS This website helps you find basically anything near you (a bakery, a doctor, an electrician,
etc.): www.118000.fr
BUT if you find yourself in any kind of trouble, please reach out first to a member of WORLD, your buddy, or any Sciences Po student. Sometimes, easy solutions can be found by calling a friend and it will avoid all of us some
stress or unnecessary expenses!
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, CALL:
15 – SAMU: if you ever need an immediate medical intervention
17 – POLICE: if you need an intervention from the police
18 – FIREFIGHTERS: in case of fire or if you can’t reach the SAMU
114: national emergency number for deaf or mute persons
FRENCH HABITS Bread is an impor tant par t of our diet and some of us eat some at every meal!
We love cheese but not American cheese: real, smelly, French cheese that we eat with bread or in special meals (for example: la raclette)
Our pastries are delicious (especially the croissants), you should stop by a bakery ! During in your stay in France, you’ll have to make your own food (we do not have a
campus system for every meal). Here are some of the supermarkets where students go grocery shopping:
Lidl : 6 rue Albert Priolet, SGEL Near the campus
Carrefour Market : 44 Rue de l'Aurore, SGEL Near Les Glénans
Monoprix : 67 rue de Pologne, SGEL Near the RER station
Saint Germain en Laye is known for its market: if you need fresh products, you can find
them on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday from 9am to 1pm at Place du Marché Neuf!
food
ON CAMPUS
At Sciences Po, we have a canteen (called “CROUS”), opened Monday to Friday on lunch hours.
For 3.25€, you can get a starter, a main course and a dessert. But: to pay your lunch, you’ll need your student card (it’ll be given to you at the beginning
of the semester) and an Izly account. The administration will send you a link by email in order to create your account. Then, you can put money on the account and pay your lunch
with your student card!
We also have a cafétéria where you can buy sandwiches or pasta salads and pay with cash or with your student card.
Your student card can also be used to pay at the coffee machine or at the vending machine in the first floor of building D.
If you don’t like canteen food, you are welcome to bring your own meal and use the different microwaves (in the breakroom or at the first floor of building D)!
being french
If you are learning French and want to speak it with French student, then you’ll quickly no-tice that we talk really fast and use a lot of slurs and slang: let us know if you don’t get it,
anyone here we’ll be glad to slow down or to teach you a few cuss words! Also, when speaking to others, we distinguish tutoiement and vouvoiement, as a mark of respect: we say “tu” to people we know, other students (or people our age) and our family
and use “vous” to speak to teachers and strangers. It means we use the second singular per-son or the second plural person:
Tu as faim? (are you hungry for someone your age or a friend) Vous avez faim? (are you hungry for an adult or a stranger)
If you speak Spanish, it’s like “tu” and “usted”. Fun fact: we use the word “putain” all the time. It means “fuck” but we use it to express anger, stress, joy, sadness and basically every emotion… If you want to feel french, you
must learn to use this word!
Hello/Hey: Bonjour (to anyone) / Salut (to friends only) Goodnight: Bonsoir, bonne soirée Goodbye: Au revoir How are you?: ça va ? Also : Vous allez bien ? / Tu vas bien ? My name is…: Je m’appelle… Thank you: Merci Please: s’il vous plait / s’il te plait
Our language and the way French people speak to each other can seems weird or tricky, but here are a few facts to help you:
First, when we meet our friends and family, we greet each other by kissing: it is called “faire la bise”.
It is not an actual kiss: we simply touch each other cheeks and mimic the sound of a kiss! It is for friend and family only, do not do it with strangers or with the teachers.
In the meantime, voilà some common French expressions:
Sorry : Pardon / je suis désolé Left & right: Gauche & droite
Today : Aujourd’hui Tomorrow: demain
I am from: Je viens de I am looking for the train station: Je cherche
la gare RER I don’t understand: Je ne comprends pas Do you speak english ?: Vous parlez an-
glais ? / Tu parles anglais ?
